The Biscuit Tin

by Wayne Edward Hanson

This is a story of a young girl faced with terrible choices and impossible odds during the last days of Hitler's "final solution." The Nazi purge of Jews in Holland is under way and 12-year-old Sophie is hiding in her family's Amsterdam apartment. Her father has immigrated to South Africa to seek work and send for his family. Sophie's mother has been taken away by soldiers. And then the Nazis arrive and begin pounding on doors demanding that all Jews come out.
